Chapter 243: Small Talk

The little girl Gong Yue mentioned it, the only two little sisters in the village. But when she thought of these two people, she obviously became unhappy: "I don't understand. What does it have to do with whether our family has money or not, and how much money we have? Do you think I'm stupid when they change their methods all day long?

When Gong Jian heard his little sister say this, he realized that since the family had money last year, Gong Jian is not a person who will treat his family and himself badly, so the living standard of the Gong family is getting higher and higher. The people in the village are also obvious to all, and their attitude towards their family has also undergone a huge change.

People are like this, they have always felt sorry for themselves, and the object that they can look down on, suddenly becomes, and when they need to look up, there are many people who can't change their hearts. It often causes others to covet it.

He believed that there must be quite a few people in the village who spoke sour words. What can those little girls understand, their words and deeds can only represent the thoughts of their parents at home.

Gong Jian pondered for a while, and then reached out and touched the top of Gong Yue's supple hair: "Big brother knows." If your friends are always asking you about these things, I think you can consider changing some friends. After all, the current situation of our family is different from the past. Yue'er can consider teaching more friends. “

Gong Yue nodded, Xinghua and Chun Tao's home lived near their house. The situation in their family is also more difficult, of course, it is a little stronger than before their own family. When I was with the two of them before, I didn't feel anything.

Of course, at that time, the three of them actually had a lot of work to do all day. When everyone meets, it is a greeting, and there is no deep friendship between each other.

Now that the situation at home is better, although Gong Yue rushes to work every day, she is always stopped by her mother and two elder brothers, and they hope that they can meet more friends of the same age and play happily together.

Although Gong Yue also wants to contribute more strength to this family, there is only so much work in the family. So she does have time to make more friends now.

Compared with the little friend who annoyed her, Gong Yue remembered even more, the eldest aunt who gave the family a headache.

"Big brother. The eldest aunt has been going to the house lately to say something sour. The last time I was home alone, she was crying and making trouble at the gate, so scared that I didn't dare to go out. “

Gong Jian also had a headache when he heard Xiaomei mention their eldest uncle. This eldest aunt is also considered to be the best, when Gong Jian and their family were poor before, they were eager to come and scrape the ground.

Now that the situation of Gong Jian's family is getting better and better, she doesn't want to sharpen her head and try to pull Gong Jian's things to her own house.

Fortunately, Gong Jian's family is united. The previous years of poverty have worn out the love between the two families. Now that their whole family is external, they don't let the eldest aunt take advantage of it at all!

This also led to the fact that whenever there was an opportunity, the eldest aunt would say something in front of the people in the village that they didn't like to hear. Of course, the people in the village are not all without their own judgment. But there are always some people who have softer ears and are the same as others.

Therefore, since the Gong Jian family's family situation has improved, the gossip about their family has not stopped. Gong Jian didn't have the heart to take care of these before, after all, the life of the family was on him. He didn't have that free time, and he paid attention to some rumors that the east and the west were short.

Listening to a little sister's complaint today, Gong Jian realized that there was something wrong with their family's reputation in the village. Of course he is now in a position to move the whole family to the town. But no matter what, Chenjia Village is their birthplace.

Gong Jian turned his head and found that his second brother Gong Yu was also looking at him intently. It seems that even his own brother is aware of this problem.

That is, Gong Jian himself, because he has been thinking about making a fortune. So, he didn't pay much attention to the remarks of others. This gave some people a chance to smear Gong Jian's family.

After a long groan, Gong Jian suddenly brought up another topic with Gong Yu: "Second brother, can you understand the books I bought for you last time?"

Gong Yu didn't expect that the eldest brother and the younger sister were talking about the gossip of the people in the village, and before the two finished speaking, the eldest brother suddenly turned the topic to himself.

His cheeks were slightly red, and he reached out and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Big brother, there are many words in those books that I don't know." ”

When Gong Yu was a child, his eldest brother Gong Jian also taught him for a while. Simple words, he also knows some. But later, the eldest brother couldn't reach it. Tell him to read and read again.

Gong Jian saw his second brother, a little shy, and couldn't help but comfort him and said, "It's okay, if you don't know any words when you go back, tell me and I'll teach you." ”

He patted his second brother on the shoulder again and continued to encourage him: "I wanted to send you to the private school in the town this year. But unfortunately, the old gentleman in the town's private school withdrew. When the weather warms up in the spring of next year, I will send you to study at a private school in the county. Until then, I'll teach you. ”

As soon as he heard Gong Jian's words, Gong Yu's eyes lit up. Since he was a child, he has admired his eldest brother, who is a seed of reading, and the people in the village praise him like this. That is, he was dragged down by his family, otherwise the eldest brother would definitely have taken the test by now.

He nodded solemnly: "Big brother, I must study hard." But then he added: "Big brother, I'll just learn from you, and you don't need to send me to the county's private school." ”

Gong Yu had inquired before, and the private school in the town needed to pay tuition for a year, but it was a full five taels of silver. If it were a private school in the county, the price would definitely be higher. Gong Yu didn't want to burden his family.

How could Gong Jian not know the thoughts of his second brother. He hurriedly comforted his younger brother and said, "Don't worry, my eldest brother made a lot of money selling recipes before." This time, this hot pot business will earn more for our family. You can go to a private school with peace of mind, and it is not a problem at all. ”

Gong Yu was very happy when he heard what his eldest brother said. It was hard for him to imagine that more than a year ago, their family still did not have enough food and clothing. My eldest brother has to go to the dock to sell coolies, and my mother has to go to a big family to do laundry work. The little sister is even younger. Just pick up the work of the house.

And it was in this short period of more than a year that the situation at home has changed dramatically. Thinking of this, Gong Yu hurriedly grabbed Gong Jian's sleeve, frowned, and said in a tangled manner: "Big brother, I can't go to private school." I go to a private school, what about the work in the backyard?"
